Could equally be that the older groups got their vaccination and boosters earlier. There are so many variables that to be able to state a definite cause is tricky.

I hope its clear and if i live nearer would have treated you to a pint🍺
After 2 years we and our neighbours have managed to keep clear of the bug. A couple of days ago I spoke for about 5 minutes to one neighbour in their porch. A couple of hours later they messaged to say they'd tested positive and have the symptoms of the earlier variants. Nasty barking cough although her husband says her bite is still ok 
He is fine and showing no symptons and is testing negative.
I've tested clear so far but need a couple more days to be sure.

.......we are also triple vaccinated and have been careful for 2 years.
Both my children (mid 40's) and families who don't live with us, have had it and reported mild cold like symptoms.
I suffer from UK winters and lack of the sun so my wife and I decided to have a week in Tenerife and risk it!
After returning I developed very mild cold like symptoms and tested positive and my wife had negative tests and no symptoms.
It seems the same exposure to the risk can have very different outcomes....its pot luck!

This new variant based on Omicron is showing significant increases but the attention of the media quite understandably is elsewhere. My granddaughter works part time at an Italian chain of restaurant. She has no hours now for the next 10 days as the management have closed her restaurant and redeployed the full time staff and over 18 part time staff to the bigger restaurants in larger towns. This is to make up for the increased Covid absences in those restaurants. So those staff are now commuting to Bath, Bristol and Newport but on a flexible arrangement that may change daily.

Been a spike in Covid cases up my neck of the woods due to this BM2 Omicron variant being more transmissible . I in 18 apparently have Omicron in Scotland going by latest statistics.
Every one sent home last Friday from the wife's Social Work office after 3 members of Staff came down with it. Hospitals are also reporting a fair rise especially in the elderly.
We are not out the woods yet I'm afraid.....

My decedents, plus husbands wives girlfriends and boyfriends. Total 19 people starting at 18 months old. Managed since the start of covid with a clear record. Over the past 8 weeks we have had 8 have come down with it. The worst was one granddaughter, we think hers was worse from being worn out from looking after her two kids and her husband. She went on for about 10 days, very tired and run down, but far from life threatening.
It seems to reflect what is reported. The severity has really decreased. Even the report of hospitalisations from Scotland says hospitalisation has risen but not for severe cases.
For me. The current test is about severe cases and deaths. Otherwise it seems that flu is worse for the majority.

Our daughter is still testing positive on LFT after eight days. She had a PCR confirmation on day 3. She can’t work from home as her placements are in the Bath hospital where 7 of the 10 person team are positive and remain at home. Fortunately none are seriously affected, just feel rubbish , no energy like a heavy cold.
Thank you. As they say “ it’s an ill wind etc” so she has been able to put more time into her final project thesis whilst at home. The corollary is that she will need to do her missed placements at another later time. The degree course doesn’t recognise time off sick 😷

I am worse now then when I had covid . Swollen ankles, every joint ache ,lungs getting me concern and any exertion cause me to be breathless. Putting the awning up 3 weeks time might be a effete.
Our daughter initially felt rough but her first two LFT on day 1 were negative. But she still took precautions and submitted for a PCR which showed positive. By then LFTs we’re also positive.
SWMBO took 10 days before she got the all clear three weeks ago. Sadly she missed my Mum’s funeral in North Devon. There’s never a good time Clive but I suspect Covid will be as common place as the flu . Let’s hope and the rest of the family avoid it👍

If you're 75 years or over, now is the time to get fixed up with your next Covid jab. Got mine booked for Wednesday morning.
I'll have to wait until my birthday as not ill enough to qualify otherwise.Book, cancel or change a COVID-19 vaccination appointment

That’s a thing that rarely happens.
I’m sure that NHS Scotland will not be far behind England.

I've merged the thread concerning the fourth Covid jab with this existing and active thread.
We're not going to have different threads running which deal with the same subject matter on the forum.

I thought that you had to wait at least 6 months from the last third jab, ours was last September.
